Square deal.
Emma span in horror, the final straw for those useless legs. She hit the sand, falling gracelessly to her arse and set eyes upon her antagonist.
It was one of the photo-shoot's crew. A young kid, maybe of about 23. Though it was scant consolation, he did look somewhat concerned.
'Are you alright?' He asked softly in a kiwi-esque accent.
'Yeah', Emma wheezed.
'What happened?' He asked, looking out towards the boat.
Emma gazed after it too; a pathetic, almost comedic thing bobbing on the waves, drifting further, further away. A thousands pesos down the tubes. 'My boat...' she began, hesitantly, but suddenly an alternative story was developing in her head. 'My boat drifted off and I went looking for help....'
'... And you came across us,' the young guy concluded.
She could see him making sense of the sequence of events in his head.
'Let me help you up', he smiled.
Defiantly, Emma sprang to her feet. 'I'm fine', she panted.
Suddenly she was all too aware of how undressed she was. Like abruptly realising she was naked at a dinner party, she pulled her satchel in front of her and held her arms over her body, vulnerable and defenceless, that damn tremor only subsiding slightly.
The guy was getting a good look at what she had to offer, like he could see her faltering poise and knew he could take advantage. His smirking eyes pored over her, degrading her further, his thoughts obvious in his leering eyes.
Hands clasped firmly to that pathetically narrow strap, and arms pressed resolutely over her still heaving breasts, she endured her demeaning inspection until finally he spoke.
'Well it looks like you need a ride', he said, the lust still rampant in his gaze.
Still a little shaken, still more than slightly ashamed, Emma was unable to respond, her voice merely a choking breath in her throat.
'Follow me and we'll see if someone can fit you in'.
As the two of them got back to the small, rocky clearing (which a beautiful, black model had just desecrated with at least a pint of his cum), most people had gathered into two or three tiny groups, their chatter humming beneath the sounds of the coast. A few, Emma noticed, had even left. Her eyes scanned fitfully for the model; Kyle, but mercifully, he was nowhere in sight. She looked over to the rock where he'd been sat. There were still streaks of shimmering cum spattered against the stone.
Jesus, this guy cums like an elephant!!
Again she imagined herself gleefully showering herself under him, holding onto his strong thighs as he unleashed that hot, gooey chaos over her face.
'Guys', the young man said, tearing her back to the moment, 'has anyone got room for a stray?'
The remaining crew glanced Emma's way, most of them taking a second to appreciate her fine commodities. She pulled that satchel right across her, like she was shielding herself from boiling oil.
'This lady needs a ride back to town'.
There were a few smirks and sniggers, a lot of looking around as if everyone was waiting for everyone else to volunteer.
'Anyone?' He tried again. 'C'mon, folks-you're not gonna leave a beautiful maiden in the middle of nowhere are you?'
One of the 'undefined' people piped up. 'There're two cars and all this equipment, Pete', they said. 'It's not as simple as that.'
It wasn't looking good. Emma would need to phone Amanda and tell her she was going to be very late getting back. She took out her phone. On it was the untimely text notification from her friend that had earlier spelled the beginning of her demise.
The photographer, previously engaged in some conversation or other with a couple of guys; made his way over.
'Did you get a good view from up there?' He said with appallingly blunt sarcasm.
Already, Emma noticed, he was looking her up and down. She could hear her fingers squeezing tighter against that satchel strap. She tried a smile, but she felt it break almost as soon as it emerged.
